WARRINGTON, Aug. 8.-There are no new de-

of ex-Treasurer Richard FL. Greenwood, whose

A Wise WASH.

While sitting, one Summer day. at
the side of the house on a platform
which served as a pizza, but was roof
ed only by the branches of two large
trees, something dropped upon my
head and rolled into my lap, when !
saw large whitebodied spider in the
clutches Of small wasp. Hastily
brushing these unceremonious visitors
on to the floor, watched to see if the
wasp would succeed in flying away
with its huge emmy. Aftera struggle
the spider lay quiet, and the wasp ran
around, seizing first one part, then an
other, but finally went away, as / sup
posed, for help. In about quarter of
an hour he returned, still alone, and be-
gan trying again, as / thought, to find
some place by which he could seize the
round body and carry it away. This
time | watched him and saw him dis
appear at the edge OF the lawn, under
a pear tree, and following, found him,
after some searching, diligently at
work with another wasp enlarging
hole in the ground, having already

then know that any kind of wasp lived
in the ground.
/ Ireturned to the piazza, and soon,
when the wasp came back, was con-
yinced, by more careful watching, that
he was measuring each part of the spi-
der's body instead of trying to get
hold OF it. The antenn@ seemed to be-
the organs mostly employed in this OPP

was before him, and saw him meet his
co-worker, put his head close to his,
and evidently informed him that the
doorway was not big enough, for they
fell buisly to work enlarging it Then
more measuring, more digging, until.
after three long hours, he returned,
this time with his friend. and they car
ried away their prey and bestowed it
in their underground home. -EG

Names Of Southern Negroes.

A Yankee friend of mine in speaking
Of the Limeklin club says: "It is inim-
table, only that the names Of the mem
bers are so exaggerated. " When / wrote
her list of the queer names that have
become so familiar to me from much
hearing she declared that she would
retract her opinion of the Limeki1n
names being exaggerated. The ne
groes generally take their names either
from their surroundings or obtain them
from the white people, often mixing up
names in the most incongruous style.
Lily is the fayorite name for the black
est pickaninny among them. Our old
washerwamon named her only child
Mary Mandy Selma Pleasant Delight
full. A bow-!egged young descendant
of Ham rejoices in the name of Shad-
raDh Meshach Abednego--though he is
generally known as Shad.

eide what to call her first son, so in her
dilemma applied to a young lady, who
told her to call him Willipus Wallapus.
